Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Even though Kyle Richards is a cast member in a reality TV franchise called Real Housewives, she is oddly in the minority since a lot of the stars in the franchise aren’t even wives. Kyle and Mauricio Umansky seem to have a very solid relationship and they’re not even annoying about it…. minus the constant plugs for The Agency that I could do without.

Kyle recently opened up about the very beginning of her relationship with her husband Mauricio, why she would never do Dancing With the Stars, and how she said no a million times to doing Celebrity Apprentice, but ended up caving to join the cast anyway.

I waited for months to see what Erika Girardi was mad about when she declared “you don’t know what I go through every night” and it ended up being both anticlimactic and disappointing. When it finally happened and it was directed at Eileen Davidson, I was thrown off. Of all people in this cast, Eileen is the one who worships Erika and her Erika Jayne alter ego. It made no sense to me.

Obviously, this was a case of misdirecting anger, but still, Erika admitted that she’s happy that her breakdown was aimed at Eileen instead of another cast member. That seems like a weird sentiment to have after flipping out on your most loyal follower, but if you are going to mess up, it might as well be with the person who supports you most. They did recover from that meltdown quickly, so I get it.

It has been tough for me to find sympathy for Eden Sassoon this season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but I definitely felt bad for her after Erika Girardi rejected and made fun of the friendship ring she bought her during the Hong Kong trip. Sure, I felt like it was a little off-base since I am pretty sure that these two had zero alone time the whole season.

Nevertheless, Erika’s reaction was unkind and unnecessary. I have been ride or die Erika Jayne from the start, but it’s tough to defend her antics in Hong Kong. Then again, every human being is bound to have an unflattering moment or two if her life is filmed for months at a time.

Lisa Rinna knows many, many things: she knows Harry Hamlin is a pie-making, grey-haired demigod, she knows that her dog Lola has magical powers of mind control, she knows that shopping saves lives, she knows that if she stands before giant murals of rainbow-colored angel wings she can a least look like she’s good, and she knows that gold is her color. But what Lisa Rinna doesn’t know, and wants to find out, is if Dorit Kemlsey was doing coke in the bathroom. So these are the days of our Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

And just think – this is not even the plot of the real-life soap opera Eileen Davidson stars in!

As far as dinner parties from hell, or vacations from hell go, the ladies of RHOBH reign supreme. As they do in so many instances. Hong Kong is no exception. Right after Erika Girardi finishes preaching at Eileen with her Tammy Faye Baker eyes, and just as everyone is finally – finally – tucking into their soup course, Lipsa ever-so-brightly inquires if Dorit was serving cocaine at her dinner party months ago. See Lisa saw things. She saw things that bothered her, but she never got the chance to bring up. As mentioned above, Lisa knows things, like that a good hostess would never leave HER, of all people, at the table while the rest of party disappeared to freshen up. Lisa Vanderpump would never do that!

Dorit Kemsley‘s trip to Hong Kong with her co-stars was a rocky experience and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is sharing her thoughts on the drama. Dorit admits that she felt bullied and ganged up on at times, despite the the fact that it was supposed to be a trip to show their support of Lisa Vanderpump and her mission to stop the horrors happening to dogs in Yulin.

She admits her disgust over Lisa Rinna‘s immature behavior on the boat ride, “Well…this episode started out with a bang and ended with another bang. It really makes me feel sad that grown women are acting like this. I mean, jumping in front of someone’s face and flipping them off…we are not kids. Surely there’s a better way to resolve things.”

Even though Erika Girardiis getting a lot of flack for being “cold” and not opening up a lot during the last few Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, there is one topic that she has always expressed strong feelings about: advocating for the LGBTQ community.

Not only that, but her performance alter ego Erika Jayne has always emphasized how proud she is to have strong support from LGBTQ members of her fandom. She has performed at several Pride events before so it is only natural for Erika to put on another performance to support the fans that have been so supportive of her… no matter what she wears, or doesn’t wear.

Another day, another teaser about the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills reunion. This time, Eileen Davidson is spilling some tea about what we can expect when the ladies get together to rehash a doozie of a season. Though she wasn’t in the middle of most of the drama, Eileen admits the reunion still took a toll on her.

“I could actually not put two words together this morning,” said Eileen the day after taping the reunion. “It’s crazy. I actually sound halfway intelligent. I couldn’t have been this clear yesterday.”
